#31DC2015: Inspired By a Song

Today we're posting looks that are inspired by a song. I don't think there was any choice for me. My song of the summer has been Sunday Candy by Donnie Trumpet & the Social Experiment.
This song has been on repeat for me since it came out. It got better when Anna Kendrick sang the hook in an interview (LOVE ME SOME ANNA!). But the best part is that the incredibly talented Donnie Trumpet is my husband's cousin. The whole family is crazy proud of him and he's insanely talented. Not only do I recommend listening to this song if you don't know it, but check out the rest of the stuff he does with Chance.
So not only do I love the song, I love the sets in the music video, which was all done in one shot. How cool is that? I pulled all of my inspiration from the music video. On my thumb I did the Sunday Candy Marquee, next is the Social Experiment logo from their letterman jackets, middle is the candies on the wall, ring is Jamila Woods shirt/necklace/cardigan combo, and my pinky is the purple and white walls in the candy shop.
I used an insane amount of polish and acrylic paint for this look. I'll list them all out below. If you are curious about a color, just ask and I'm happy to help.
Thumb: OPI I Just Can't Cope-a-cabana, OPI A Oui Bit of Red, OPI Alpine Snow, KBShimmer Foiled
Pointer; Acrylic paint, OPI A Oui Bit of Red, OPI Alpine Snow
Middle: OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, OPI You're Such a Budapest, OPI Gargantuan Green Grape, OPI I Just Can't Cope-a-cabana, OPI Alpine Snow, China Glaze The Grass is Lime Greener, China Glaze Hanging in the Balance, Maybelline Color Show Lime Accent, Maybelline Color Show Ultra Violet, Acrylic Paint
Ring: OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around, OPI You're Such a Budapest, OPI Alpine Snow, Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen Magenta, Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen Yellow, China Glaze Hanging in the Balance
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Some of my bloggy girlfriends and I decided to do another inspired by post again. We had so much fun the first time seeing how we all interpreted the inspiration piece differently that we picked another one.
This time around our inspiration post was these rainbow swirl doodles. It posed quite the challenge for me, but I think I did it justice! For my base, I started with OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around. Can we talk about how this is the perfect polish? I love this nude color and need to wear it more.
I then used Sally Hansen I <3 Nail Art pens in Magenta #390, Yellow #320, Turquoise #450, and Orange #330 plus China Glaze The Grass is Lime Greener to draw on the swirls. The Nail Art pens are so great. I need get these in all the colors!!
Be sure to check out how the other ladies interpreted the art below. I love each design!!

That is officially the worst post name ever!! But I was trying to be clever, so it is what it is. I'm going to keep this post short, but I wanted to show you all the nails I'm wearing for St. Patrick's day. I wanted to make sure I don't get pinched. ;-)
This is 3 thin coats of China Glaze The Grass is Lime Greener from the new City Flourish Spring Collection. It's quite the finicky formula, but I love the end result color. My accent nails are 3 coats of Floss Gloss Stun. It's a beautiful gold glitter that has holographic flashes. It literally flashes that same lime green color so these polishes are perfect together.
How are you celebrating this holiday?
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
